Office of the Secretary. 

Page 26 of the National Forest Manual, 1912, Settlement, issued 
by the Secretary of Agriculture, to take effect February 1, 1912, is 
hereby amended by adding the following regulation: 

Regulation L-56. — An application for nontimbered, listable 
agricultural land embraced in a subsisting unperfected entry will 
be returned to the applicant unless it sets forth the fact that the 
applicant has initiated a contest against the entry, and who, but 
for the fact of the land being within a National Forest, would suc- 
ceed to the rights granted by section 2 of the act of May 14, 1880 
(21 Stat., 140), as amended by the act of July 26, 1892 (27 Stat., 
270), in which case a notation will be made upon the record of the 
receipt of such application and of the pending contest. The appli- 
cation will be returned to the applicant with the statement that if 
the contest results in cancellation of entry the application may be 
reinstated as of the date of final conclusion of the contest, if filed 
within 30 days succeeding the period in which the contestee has 
right of review. Such application will, however, confer no right 
upon the applicant unless the land is finally listed or eliminated from 
the Forest. 

Done at Washington, D. C, this 16th day of February, 1914. 

Witness my hand and the seal of the Department of Agriculture. 

B. T. Galloway, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
